Software to make Wikipedia and other Mediawiki content available offline

Wikipedia aims to make the Sum of All Human Knowledge available to all and for free. But with three to four billion people around the world lacking connectivity (because of cost, infrastructure or censorship) we need a solution to bridge the digital divide and bring this great tool to everyone.

Mediawiki offliner packages and compresses any wiki into a portable ZIM archive that can then be browsed offline and on any device, no matter where their users are located. In short, this allows everyone and everyone to carry the largest encyclopaedia ever on their phone and in their pocket.
